Homemade birdhouse feeder

Fun and inexpensive craft to make with kids and then look for different animals that come to eat from the feeder.

We made bird feeders several months ago out of recycled items and they didn't last thru the weather very well. So when we were in the Dollar Tree couple weeks ago I picked up a couple bird houses so the kids could make reuse able bird feeders.

The kids took peanut butter and spread it on the wood house then sprinkled bird seed on it. It worked out great and we had some birds and even squirrels

Materials:
Peanut Butter
Bird seed
Wooden house

Tonight we hung them off the deck and J got to see the squirrel eating the peanut butter and seeds. I tried to get a picture, but they are way too fast for me.

Thanks

What a fun little project to do with my little kids. It looks like a lot of fun and would be super easy for my children. I'm excited to try this and see how it turns out. Thanks for the fun activity that I'm sure will keep my children busy for a whole day. http://www.onmasonandmain.com/default.asp?dept_id=30060

My wife has always loved birds and all the little creatures that visit our backyard. It would be super fun to surprise her with a set of bird feeders to install in our trees. Is there a style or brand that works efficiently to feed the birds and other yard creatures?

When reading this blog, I really surprised about recycling technique that used for bird feeding. Thanks Again
